THat does not make sense. Until the economy improves? Restarting construction will help the economy....Am I missing something?
Universal has been losing millions of dollars each day with the theme parks being closed. They still have multiple other construction projects ongoing such as Nintendoland at USJ. They are focusing on that and will resume construction for the new park once things begin to return to normal and they have a good cash flow again.
Disney has done the same thing. In Disney's case however they halted EVERYTHING related to the parks construction while Universal only halted Epic Universe.
Interesting! I didn't realize there would be a 2nd spot for food aside from the restaurant. I wonder if that food stand will sell the land's own take on Butterbeer?
It most definitely is. The entrance facade is straight-up DKCR-style temple ruins.
That looks so tiny and cramped and will probably be crowded as fuck and something I would not even think of visiting covid situation or not.
edit: Also very environmental that everything is fucking plastic and not a single real tree the whole thing looks terrible.

Looks amazing!
By the time the Orlando one opens my kid will probably be 5-7 so pretty close to when I'd like to be able to take him anyway. Can't wait!

Looks great, but wow it's a lot smaller than I thought it'd be. Seems like it's really dense though.
It's a themed land apart of a pre-existing park, not a theme park by itself.
I genuinely don't think this park gets built for another ten years at least, if at all. And when it does it will be scaled back significantly and opened piece-meal.To provide context on how limited Universal Japan is, it's no more than 133 acres. So if you think the park area is smaller than you'd think, that is why. Let's look at the plans for the 750 acre Epic Universe Park for Orlando.
You see that little bastard on the left? That's gonna be your flagship Nintendo World. If you wanted to say "wow that's big" in an Internet forum, wait another three years
oh sorry I missed the part way out somewhere not actually part of the main area that surely makes it much better.
Guys

It is kinda wack that Nintendo is the star of this new theme park and yet they gave it the smallest plot of land. lol
Assuming that they used the same plans from Japan for Orlando, instead of making it larger to make use of the extra land.

7 acres is nothing to shrug at. That's the size of most Hogsmeades (minus Hagrid).
For Japan it's not that simple. They have only a certain amount of land to make use out of by the city. For Orlando, that space of trees above will have plenty of room for any future expansions.

That moment you realize that this land (PLUS THE DONKEY KONG MINI-LAND AND ROLLER COASTER) was supposed to open up at Universal Studios Orlando next year, but then it got delayed back two years to open alongside a new park and then it got delayed back another year (or more) due to COVID.

It's the size of Diagon Alley, but with multiple levels.
That makes me feel better since Diagon alley is incredible.
With the way the economy is going and with Comcast delaying Epic Universe because of it, I'm getting skeptical that we will even get expansions to that park anytime in the near future. (Assuming they still build EU)
I guess they have Japan to test capacity on how well it contains crowds, before they work on Orlando.
This is absurd. They already been working on it for years now (clearing land and such) it's definitely coming
We're entering a depression that will impact travel/tourism probably more than anything else. Wiped out more than a decade's worth of job growth that will take more than a decade to get back im sure. They have to be weighing the cost of running and maintaining a theme park during a depression versus the cost of waiting several more years and maintaining an empty plot of flat land before getting it going. If they had gone vertical on any of it I would be more optimistic, but as far as i know all theyve done is clear the land.
My God....

To anyone who thinks that it looks small, don't worry, that's just the land where everything shrinks. You guys should see the giant land part.
That video reminded me that JAWS is actually still up and running at Universal Japan, years after the Orlando version got the axe in favour of Potter.
Damn.
Damn.
The themed lands at Disney are not that big too, folks get the wrong idea about these "expansions". Galaxy's Edge is not that big as Disney really.
